Donald Trump's support plummets to historic new depths

Roberto Lindsey

The majority of 1,125 voters across the United States in the poll said Mr Trump was not honest, did not have good leadership skills, was not intelligent and did not care about them.

In its daily presidential tracking poll, the president earned a 38 percent approval rating. Days later, he again praised the firm, posting: "The new Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 Election, just out with a Trump 50% Approval Rating.That's higher than O's #'s!"

A new survey from Quinnipiac University found his approval rating stood at just 33 percent, a record low for Trump in the poll. The findings are the worst yet for Trump in the Quinnipiac poll. Among military households, the margin was narrower, but a majority, 55 percent, still said trans troops should be allowed, with 39 percent saying they shouldn't. "Profound embarrassment over his performance in office and deepening concerns over his level-headedness have to raise the biggest heads".

The poll also found that negativity towards Trump ran stronger than positivity. That surpassed his previous unwanted benchmarks of 57 percent negative and 34 percent positive ratings in a June Quinnipiac poll. On these numbers, 46 percent approve of his handling of terrorism, but 47 percent disapprove, leaving him yet again in the red, although only slightly.

On August 3, Quinnipiac released a separate poll that measured the opinion of Trump's July 26 transgender military ban decision. In late June, 84% of Republicans approved of Trump's performance - now, 76% of Republicans say the same.

Other polls reflect a decline in approval ratings among Americans for the 45th president, too. It pointed out that 18 other countries - including Australia, Canada, Israel, and the United Kingdom - allow transgender people to serve openly in the military with "little or no impact on unit cohesion, operational effectiveness, or readiness".

Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said there would be "no modifications" to policies regarding transgender service members until the military received more direction than what Trump sent in a tweet. Read the full results here.
